Outstanding staff exemplify work ethic
Each of Tennessee Tech's four 1996 Outstanding Staff Award winners was honored during Luncheon Forum on Monday with a plaque and a $500 honorarium.
The winners are Shelia Kendrick of Graduate Studies, Lorraine Luegge of Academic Affairs, Julie Manis of the Library Media Center and Richard Maxwell of Civil & Environmental Engineering.
The Outstanding Staff Awards program was established in 1989 as a show of appreciation for professional responsibility to the most outstanding of our clerical and support staff. A committee of clerical and support staff, as well as a faculty member, an administrator and a student, review nominations submitted campuswide. Awards are based on job performance, attitude toward work and the university, attendance and perseverance, professional development and suggestions for improvement.
Kendrick, graduate analyst, edits all theses/dissertations submitted by our graduate students and monitors their progress from registration through graduation. She's also responsible for maintaining and publishing our graduate catalog and thesis preparation guide. Since joining the Tennessee Tech family in 1986, Kendrick has earned a master's degree in Curriculum & Instruction and passed the CPS Exam.
"Shelia is one of a kind," says Rebecca Quattlebaum, dean of Graduate Studies. "She provides that spark of enthusiasm and vitality that keeps the 'wheels oiled' and all of us pleased to be serving students. She genuinely likes and respects the people around her and is constantly serving others, and that spirit is contagious. Shelia is creative and resourceful and yet exacting with details. She is a self starter who enjoys a challenge and can be counted on to meet necessary deadlines."
Luegge, executive aide, is not only responsible for a large number of daily functions in Academic Affairs -- such as Performance Funding activities -- but she also serves as "support" for various university committees. She is a former chairperson of the Commission on the Status of Women and was instrumental in helping develop our Women's Center. Luegge joined the university in 1976 and has since passed the CPS Exam and continues to take courses toward an undergraduate degree.
"Ms. Luegge's performance is exceptional," says Leo McGee, associate vice president for Academic Affairs. "She is always very efficient, very cheerful and very eager to take on any tasks assigned to her. The independence she exhibits in handling various aspects of the Performance Funding program and in the preparation of the University Catalog is most impressive. She is a tremendous asset."
Manis, interim coordinator of the Media Center, was hired as a media specialist in early 1991 but upon the retirement of Carolyn Whitson only two months later, was appointed to the position she's held ever since. Divisional coordinators, with Director Winston Walden, form the Library's management team, which oversees operations.
"Ms. Manis has functioned extremely well as an active participant of the management group," says Walden. "It had to be a difficult and delicate position for her to assume a role, but she did, made nothing but positive contributions and won the respect of the senior librarians. All who work with her in the Library and all the students and faculty she serves agree that Ms. Manis is competent, knowledgeable, effective and extremely pleasant to work with."
An mathematics alumnus of Tennessee Tech, Manis now is pursuing a master's degree in library science at UT-Knoxville.
Maxwell, engineering lab technician since 1989, developed and maintains a work scheduling program in the Civil Engineering labs assuring faculty that their needs are met in a timely manner. He is EPA-certified for refrigerant recovery and state-certified in electrical work.
"Our faculty tends to set exceptionally high standards for work performed by the departmental technician, and Mr. Maxwell continually exceeds all expectations," says William Bonner, interim chairperson of Civil & Environmental Engineering.
"Mr. Maxwell always works with a smile. Although the pressures, at times, are great, he works with an air of enthusiasm. This verstile craftsperson continually works to stay current with technology. He is always conscious of costs and is exceptional in his efforts to conserve materials and adapt where possible."
A committee of clerical and support staff, as well as a faculty member, an administrator and a student, review nominations for the annual Outstanding Staff Awards.

Park City Mountain Resort
on March 21, 2013
Snowasis in the Snow is here next week and there's no event we're more looking forward to than next Wednesday's "Songs From the Slopes" on-mountain karaoke session. We'll have our camera up by the Demo Center at the top of Bonanza Lift from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., shooting anyone who wants to show off their pipes and crank out a funky jam. So find our camera, pick up your air mic and show us what you got! Then join us for an apres party at PayDay Pizza in Legacy Lodge from 3:00 - 5:00 p.m - where we'll be screening your on-mountain performances and hosting more live karaoke.
But just so you know what you're up against...
Who needs an air mic when you've got ski poles to sing to? We'll be there, but I don't think we can match those karaoke skillz.

Holder's 1.1 pressurized innings both saved and won the evening game on day-one of the Diamond Classic sponsored by Polk's Meat Products. He entered to strike out Purdue's Sean McHugh with a lead runner in scoring position in that eighth, then fanned two more Boilermakers in the ninth. It was almost something of a letdown to have the game end on a ground ball to 1B Wes Rea actually, seeing how the ace closer had fanned 11 of the last 14 batters faced over parts of three games.
Not that Holder (1-0) cared. "It's cool," he said, as being on-record gave him the winning decision. "I got some lucky breaks there. And the guys before me, Chad Girodo and Luis Pollorena, pounded the bottom of the zone. So when I come in the zone is usually open for me."
Lefthanders Girodo (1.0 innings, two strikesouts) and Pollorena (0.2, two hits, one run, one strikeout) did set the plate pretty well. If not for one misplaced Pollorena pitch in the top of the eighth Holder would have been in a save situation as usual. But with two outs and the top of Purdue's order on first base, Kyle Wood knocked a double to rightfield for the temporary 2-2 tie that Holder had to hold.
For that matter Mississippi State (6-0) had to hold on to its composure in a longer-than-expected evening. The game began on time, and followed Purdue's 9-4 opening win over Samford. And both starting pitchers were on their games with five scoreless innings. But weather arrived in the seventh and hung around for an hour-and-a-half.
"Out of that rain delay we did a nice job of focusing and doing what we needed to do to win a game," said Coach John Cohen. Even if some of those things were horseplay. "It started off we wrote on a ball, said 'tarp slide' or something," Holder reported. "They went tarp slide and threw it back and said 'dance off'. It was pretty cool." No official scoring was given but it appeared State's LF Demarcus Henderson was the better dancer than any Boilermaker. The limbo contest, with reliever Ross Mitchell serving as the 'pole' held up by Holder and C Mitch Slauter, was entertaining too and no Dog injured himself on Mitchell's prominent beak.
Funning aside, the game befitted two 2012 NCAA Regional teams as the defending Big Ten champions played the reigning SEC Tournament titlists on even terms. "That's a good team," Cohen said. Freshman lefthander Jordan Minch was very good, much better than his early-season statistics, as he worked 6.0 complete with four hits, three walks and five strikeouts. The only damage to his line was a leadoff blast in the sixth inning by RF Hunter Renfroe that cleared centerfield.
Renfroe would have had two longballs if not for leftfielder Stephen Talbott, who robbed him at the leftfield wall in the fourth. That was off a changeup, Renfroe said. "But the last one I got all of, he threw me a fastball on 2-0 and I connected pretty well. He threw a lot of fastballs and was everywhere with it, that's what made him effective. You can't really prepare for that, he got the slider over when he needed to."
State's Jacob Lindgren was just as efficient in his 5.1 innings. He got big help early as with one on and one out in the first McHugh drove one to rightfield that looked like a RBI-double until Renfroe dove and grabbed in time. "That's one of those plays if you make it you're a hero; if you don't make it Coach Cohen comes over and cusses you out!" Renfroe said.
Lindgren responded to the sparkling save by reeling off eleven outs, six of them punchouts. "I was really just letting my defense get the job done. They made a lot of fantastic plays. And I give a lot of credit to ( C Mitch) Slauter, he was really calling a good game. I was mainly fastball, slider today, mixing it out and changing eye levels. I watched a little of the first game, and Coach Thompson always has a great scouting report."
The first hit off Lindgren opened the fifth, but Conner Hudnall tried stretching his luck to second base and was thrown out by CF C.T. Bradford. Another leadoff single in the sixth was more trouble as Kyle Johnson was bunted over to bring up the top of their order with a runner on second. A base hit to right was too sharp to test Renfroe's arm, putting runners on third and first now.
State waited to see if a pinch-hitter was used, and a righthander was. So RHP Myles Gentry inherited the jam, only to have a lefthanded pinch-man come up in the counter-move. It worked for a full-count walk to load all bases. Gentry rolled what would have been a double-play opportunity except umpire Tracy Cheek screened him out.
By the time SS Adam Frazier could see it again the hopper was right on him and he did well forcing a single out at second base, as Johnson scored. Only one run though, as Gentry ended the inning with a grounder. And after looking at two balls in the bottom of the frame Renfroe unloaded for the 1-1 tie.
With a couple of lefthanders due up Girodo took over and got them, as well as a righty. Purdue went to their bullpen also, sending Mike Lutz out for the seventh against the last two in State's order. That part worked well with a couple of quick grounders to second base.
But Frazier worked a walk and Bradford's grounder could only be knocked-down by the shortstop for an infield single. At that point officials halted play for the coming storm, with resumption at 9:46. Lutz immediately plunked Slauter to load the bases…and on 1-2 came in too far on Renfroe as well to force in the go-ahead run.
This stopped Lutz' night as well, with Tim McElroy ending the inning.
Pollorena came out for the top of the eighth and bottom two in this order, getting them both. A single by Brandon Krieg put the tying run on, and with a lefthander up Pollorena stayed in. Wood beat the percentages with a double for the 2-2 tie. So Holder was summoned to keep it even and did with a called strikeout on full count of McHugh.
A leadoff walk of 1B Alex Detz had Derrick Armstrong pinch-running and Purdue going to righthander Kenney. It wasn't the pitcher's fault Armstrong stole second base, nor that catcher Jack Picchiotti's throw got into centerfield for an extra base. "We're going to run there and Jacob fakes a bunt to disturb the catcher a little bit," Cohen said.
Robson had subbed-in to match with righty Patrick Kenney and needed only make good contact for a lead. "I was thinking any way you can, score him. I got a good pitch to hit and drove it." He did indeed, with a strong shot to leftfield that Cohen was convinced would become a double right up to when Talbot caught it. "He either got a great jump or was positioned well." Talbot's momentum was mostly inward, too. Armstrong was sent anyway and a good through would have made it interesting. Fortunately for State it was a yard off the plate.
McElroy (0-1) took the loss. Both teams mustered just five base hits each, with Frazier getting two of the State safeties. Despite the slick surface the only error was by Purdue's catcher on the eighth-inning Armstrong steal. "I know we didn't score many runs but I felt we had some productive at-bats," Cohen said. "The stolen base there sets everything up for us."
"We always come to play with the defense," Renfroe said. "We're one of the better defenses in the SEC I believe."
State is back on the home field at 3:00 Saturday to face Samford in a rematch from the 2012 Tallahasee Regional, where the Birmingham Bulldogs twice beat MSU's. RHP Evan Mitchell (0-0, 1.80) will start for State. The day's second game is at 6:00 with State and Purdue meeting again, and RHP Kendall Graveman (1-0, 0.00) is booked to start.

Evan Clifton, age 5, worried a number of adults when he failed to return from a routine bathroom break at Ohatchee Elementary School. According to school officials, an off-duty bus driver found the kindergarten student "a couple of blocks" from the campus and returned him safely.
In the meantime, however, the boy's teacher had reported him to be missing, sparking a search of the school and a review of video to try to locate him, Calhoun County Deputy Superintendent Karen Winn said.
"They're working very, very hard to make sure nothing like this ever happens again," said Winn. "The teacher has never had anything like this happen."
In a statement Wednesday, Winn said the school "responded very well to this incident and handled the situation as caring professionals."
Staff should be commended, she said, "for their quick response."
Evan sat cross-legged and curled up wearing an Incredible Hulk T-shirt on the sofa of his family's Ohatchee-area home Wednesday. He had little to say about why he left the school, but his parents said Evan told him he was trying to come home to his mom to play with his toys.
Like school officials, Evan's parents were rattled by the incident. However, they were displeased with the school's response.
"I feel the school should have had a policy in place," said Bill Clifton, Evan's dad.
Evan had been dismissed from his kindergarten class with at least one other student to go to the bathroom shortly before he left the school grounds. The other child returned without Evan, Clifton said.
After sending at least one more child to check to see if Evan was in the bathroom, the teacher reported him missing to the principal. The administrator immediately began looking for the child, school administrators say.
It's not clear how long Evan was away from the school; his parents say he was found a half-mile away. The off-duty bus driver said the boy "was pouring sweat and as red as a tomato," according to the boy's mother, Trudy Mungall.
The school notified her and the boy's stepfather, Chris Mungall. They then notified Bill Clifton, who lives in Atlanta. Clifton and Trudy Mungall, who said they "co-parent" Evan, met with the school's vice principal Wednesday.
In an interview with The Star, Clifton said he believed young students should not be sent to bathrooms without adult supervision. Both parents are asking the school to adopt a policy that would restrict teachers from sending young students to the bathroom alone.
Evan's parents also asked school officials to notify other parents in a letter that a child had wandered away from the school while under school supervision.
"I think the parents should be aware," said Trudy Mungall.
However, school officials told the parents they would not send such a letter because they have no policy in place to do so.
Calhoun County Superintendent Joe Dyar also said the school system will not likely develop a potty policy. He said teachers dismiss students to the restrooms at their discretion.
Officials said they are reviewing their practices related to the event.
"Do we go back and re-evaluate? You better believe it," Dyar said.

DUAL-SIM: Sorry we don't yet support these phones.
★★★★★ Dan in April 2014
The VERY best FREE messaging replacement for the stock app on the galaxy S4. SMS is fast, and group chat MMS works perfectly as well. I am on Sprint (which supports MMS over WiFi) and Textra is the ONLY third-party messaging app that works with MMS on WiFi!!!!!! Plus it's FREE, no ads. BUT you MUST uninstall other SMS apps first, as they can interfere with Textra. After I did that it was PERFECT.
NICE! Now works on KitKat - no more hangouts for me! they added Font Size too, nice.
★★★★★ Chase in April 2014
Simple. Beautiful. Fast. Even the dev's know their app is just that good plus it's free. Bar none, this is the best SMS/MMS replacement app I've ever used. As soon as I launched it the first time, I fell in love. Upon launch, Textra sets up all the technical stuff automatically in mere seconds. And boy, the speed doesn't stop there. I have about 60,000 texts. With my stock app, I'd have to sit there and wait forever for various hiccups and loading and blah blah blah... I've tried every other SMS replacement app I could find. Textra is the only one that handles all of them without skipping a beat. It also lets you customize settings for each contact. Bubble color, icon color, notification sound, vibrate pattern, LED color... everything I want. And it just works. I don't have to fight the app. The only issue I had was getting my MMS messages to work, but I emailed the dev's, and within TEN MINUTES they responded. Within one night, we had about 18 or so emails back and forth, and by the end of it, they had pushed out a new version of the app (1.27) and my issue was magically fixed! I have never experienced such great support for an app before. I was blown away. I look forward to all the love and care this app will receive! Do yourself a favor and get Textra now!
★★★★★ Andrew in April 2014
Excellent free alternative to stock messaging. The program just works. You can set notifications, bubble colors and even delivery reports *per contact*. It's great with Google Keyboard, love it. Emoji's work perfectly with iPhone friends as does the group messaging. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
★★★★★ Christian in April 2014
This app is smooth and does the important functional things perfectly. It's not bloated like Go SMS and Handcent. Works great with iPhone friends for group messaging and emoji's very NICE! Also splits messages for CDMA networks as well. The timestamp feature per bubble (drag left) is SOOO slick. Great work! Good for those with limited eyesight too, as you can make the font size much bigger.
Textra is a seriously beautiful, feature rich SMS and MMS replacement app.

Facebook is already 8 years old! Launched at the beginning of a social network era, Facebook has conquered more than one billion active users nowadays. It is without a doubt the most popular social network on the planet. It's not only a place of meeting and flirting, but also a great market niche for almost any company, product or service online. We won't be the first to write about the advantages of Facebook for your online business. Taking into account that the field of social networking progresses with a light speed, we won't be the last to have touched this kind of topic, either.
Let's skip all the details of how cool Facebook will be in a few years and start the topic of Facebook present. Not so long ago, Facebook page templates became another big thing for Facebook users and their profiles. Since everybody moved to timeline, we have the option now to place whatever image we want at the top of our profiles. By the way, have you noticed how, slowly but confidently, we are getting accustomed to Facebook timeline templates and the whole redesign?! And it's only the beginning. Get ready for more. Facebook cover template is something that will make your potential visitor/client/buyer come and see what you do/offer/sell. Need to mention that all the best Facebook pages are made with the help of templates and covers. Your page is next! Facebook is a monster machine for promoting you and your profile. Facebook fan page template is another great opportunity to engage more visitors. Facebook cover templates also have great SEO, so even if you end up doing nothing with your page, it's still a good idea just to keep it "breathing".
Education rules the nation! Kindergartens, schools, colleges, universities give us a chance to become a part of social life. They broaden our horizons and teach us how to be who we are. Some people spend the whole life studying something, mastering their skills and increasing their IQ level.
The reason why we decided to talk about educational website design is the relevancy of this topic in the modern world. Educational websites gain their popularity day by day. Choosing the right school or kindergarten for their kids, parents mostly rely on Internet resources. The same situation touches student audience, too. Different researches have proved that users make aesthetic decisions about the overall visual impression of any web page in as little as 50 milliseconds. The importance of first impression can play a great role for your web service. Taking into account that the potential visitors of such websites are mostly young people, website owners have to follow all the newest trends of Educational website style. A weighty part in this case also takes information. Site has to be a source of any kind of information concerning educational process, conditions and regulations.
Let us make it clear: what makes educational sites successful?
- Call-to-action. The goal of your site is to involve more clients to your school, kindergarten, etc. Make them want to visit your institution. Show the advantages of it, use more photo and video materials.
- Well-built structure. Education services tend to have a lot of content including schedules, documentation for each program, reports and so on. Make sure your content is easy to search around and features clear navigation that makes sense to your visitors.
- Make it look smart. The visitors associate your website with what your school does. The better it is presented online, the better opinion the visitors will have about your work.
The problem of choice dominates every aspect of our life. Talking about blog site topics, we could just say "pick any". But it is not as easy as it seems. Choosing the proper blog topics and ideas is a big responsibility. If you get the wrong one you've got a chance to fail despite of all your noble intentions. Of course, you won't be the next Mark Zuckerberg, but reasonable approaches are always rewarding.
There are some common mistakes that people usually do when choosing the topic to write their blog about:
Hell is paved with good intentions. Bloggers try to please everyone but please nobody;
Bloggers pick the subject that is the most "marketable" to their opinion;
They choose overambitious topics.
If you can't decide whether you want to start general blogging site or niche blogging resource, choose the latter one. When you choose some specific subject, you can easily position yourself as a Guru. Ok, if you are not a Guru yet, do your best to become one. The benefits of leading your blog on a specific topic are obvious: you stand out from the crowd and draw narrow-minded attention of certain target audience, but not just random readers. By the way, do you know that search engines likes niche blogs better than general blogs? If the search engines index your niche posts regularly, they rank your blog higher in their searching results.
Clue 1
The question that every future blogger has to ask himself: "What am I good at?" If you have no idea what to write about, make a list of your hobbies and creative ideas. Be spontaneous. Write a minimum 15 blog topics. The more you come up with, the better! Try to categorize your choice, make the balance between too wide and too narrow topics.
Clue 2

The Artquids or Artuqid dynasty (Modern Turkish: Artuklu Beyliği or Artıklılar, sometimes also spelled as Artukid, Ortoqid or Ortokid; Turkish plural: Artukoğulları; Azeri Turkish : Artıqlı) was a Turkmen dynasty[1] that ruled in Eastern Anatolia, Northern Syria and Northern Iraq in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Two main branches of the dynasty ruled from Hasankeyf (Hısn-ı Keyf, Hısnkeyfa) between 1102–1231 and Mardin between 1106–1186 (and until 1409 as vassals). There was also a third branch that acquired Harput in 1112 and was independent between 1185–1233.
The dynasty was founded by Artuq, son of Eksük, a general originally under Malik Shah I and then under the Seljuq emir of Damascus, Tutush I. Tutush appointed Artuq governor of Jerusalem in 1086. Artuq died in 1091, and his sons Sokman and Ilghazi were expelled from Jerusalem by the Fatimid vizier al-Afdal Shahanshah in 1098; the Fatimids lost the city to the crusaders the following year.
Sokman and Ilghazi set themselves up in Diyarbakır, Mardin, and Hasankeyf in the Jezirah, where they came into conflict with the sultanate of Great Seljuq. Sokman, bey of Mardin, defeated the crusaders at the Battle of Harran in 1104. Ilghazi succeeded Sokman in Mardin and imposed his control over Aleppo at the request of the qadi Ibn al-Khashshab in 1118. In 1119 Ilgazi defeated the crusader Principality of Antioch at the Battle of Ager Sanguinis.
In 1121 a Seljuq-Artuqid alliance, commanded by Mehmed I of Great Seljuq and Ilghazi, was defeated by Georgia at the Battle of Didgori. Ilghazi died in 1122, and although his nephew Balak nominally controlled Aleppo, the city was really controlled by Ibn al-Khashshab. Al-Kashshab was assassinated in 1125, and Aleppo fell under the control of Zengi of Mosul. After the death of Balak, the Artuqids were split between Diyarbakır, Hasankeyf and Mardin. Sokman's son Davud, bey of Hasankeyf, died in 1144, and was succeeded by his son Kara Aslan. Kara Aslan allied with Joscelin II of Edessa against the Zengids, and while Joscelin was away in 1144, Zengi recaptured Edessa, the first of the Crusader states to fall (see Siege of Edessa). Hasankeyf became a vassal of Zengi as well.
Kara Aslan's son Nur ad-Din Muhammad allied with the Ayyubid sultan Saladin against the Sultan of Rum Kilij Arslan II, whose daughter had married Nur ad-Din Muhammad. In the peace settlement with Kilij Arslan, Saladin gained control of the Artuqid territory, even though the Artuqids were still technically vassals of Mosul, which Saladin did not yet control. With Artuqid support, however, Saladin eventually took control of Mosul as well.
The Artuklu dynasty remained in nominal command of upper Mesopotamia, but their power declined under Ayyubid rule. The Hasankeyf branch conquered Diyarbakır in 1198 and moved here, but was demolished by the Ayyubids in 1231 when it attempted to form an alliance with the Seljuqs. The Harput branch was destroyed by the Sultanate of Rum due to following a slippery policy between the Ayyubids and Seljuqs. The Mardin branch survived for longer, but as a vassal of the Ayyubids, Sultanate of Rum, Il-Khanate and the Timurids. Karakoyunlu captured Mardin and finally put an end to Artuklu rule in 1409.
Despite their constant preoccupation with war, members of the Artuklu dynasty left brilliant architectural monuments.
They made the most significant additions to Diyarbakır City Walls. Urfa Gate was rebuilt by Muhammad, son of Kara Arslan. In the same area of the western wall, south of Urfa Gate, two imposing towers, Ulu Beden and Yedi Kardeş were commissioned in 1208 by the Artuklu ruler Salih Mahmud who designed the Yedi Kardeş tower himself and apposed the Artukid double-headed eagle on its walls.
A large caravanserai in Mardin as well as the civil engineering feat of Malabadi Bridge are still in regular use in our day. The partially standing Hasankeyf Bridge was built in 1116 by Kara Arslan.
The Great Mosques of Mardin and Silvan were possibly but in any case considerably developed over the 12th century by several Artuklu rulers on the basis of existing Seljuq edifices. The congregational mosque of Dunaysir (now Kızıltepe) was commissioned by Artuklu Bey Yülük Arslan (1184–1203) and completed after his death in 1204 by his brother Artuk Arslan (1203–1239).

You may know that I had a bit of difficulty accepting our new brother, G.K., into our lives. Things were great with us, Frenchies, being the keepers of our domain. I know that Martha really misses Paw Paw and that she really wanted another Chow Chow. However, the arrival of little Ghenghis Khan was over the top for me. I've grown a bit softer with time, but I just wanted to know a little more about this very regal breed. I remembered seeing a book, The World of the Chow Chow by Dr. Samuel Draper and Joan McDonald Brearley, in Martha's library. I decided to spend some time studying it. Looking through its pages has given me a whole new insight in how to deal with little G.K.
Franny Reads up on Chow ChowsPosted by Francesca
Comments (11)
Happy Belated (by one day) 5th Birthday Sharkey!!!!! Did you have a party with Franny, GK, and MommyMartha? Saw from her tweets that she left for South Africa for a conference so I hope you got to celebrate before she left.
I knew you'd eventually come around Franny. You're such a smart girl to read up the Chow Chow. Now you can take your new found Chow knowledge and help guide GK along properly.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Dear Francesca, I truly hope, for your peace of mind and harmony in the whole household, that you learn to love and accept GK with all your doggy heart.
Well Franny I'm glad you are starting to warm up to your brother, I think I would have had the same issues. It appears he is there to stay so make the best of it, I'm sure your moma has enough love for all of you. Maybe you should leave a book for G.K. to read so he can understand us Frenchies, we can be a bit moody at times.
Mom finally got the results of my sister Sophies biopsy, not good it was cancer. The Doctor feels they got it all, told mom they got good margins. She is seeing the Doctor on Monday when Sophie gets her staples & stitches out so she'll get more details then. Mom was really sad so I had to give her lots of kisses to make her laugh. She likes when I give her a kiss and snort little "snotzes" with it - wet kisses Then when I see her laughing I keep doing it - I sure do love my moma.
On a good note Sophie is starting to walk on her leg with the boo-boo. She told me it's still a little sore but it's not hurting as much. I'm being really good but T-Bone keeps barking at her with her funny lampshade on, it's driving dad nuts - T-Bone loves to bark.
Thank God it's Friday, mom will be home all weekend and there is no snow in the forecast.
F & S do you think we'll ever see the green grass again?
Have a nice weekend everyone.
Hello Ladies,
I can't believe it that you are 5 now Sharkey. You don't look a day over 2. It is snowing here today. Really beautiful!! As long as I have a place to do you know what and not get too wet, I am happy. I knew in time Franny would warm up to the little fluff ball. He is soooo cute, you can't help but love him. And you are correct, Franny, Paw Paw was very patient when you girls arrived. Of course Mama Martha has lots of love to go around. But can't you see him at Christmas this year. He will be grounded from alot of areas I bet. Everyone have a great weekend.
Love & licks,
Franny, are Frenchies adept speed readers, too? You whipped through that book about Chow Chows in record time! I'm impressed! Don't worry about G.K. taking over the house; remember, there are TWO Frenchies versus ONE Chow Chow, and there's strength in numbers!
Hello ladies, Kirby here.
Chow Chows, now you're talking! We're loveable, easy to train, adorable, quiet, excellent guards, loyal, curious, brave, ***that's enough Kirby(daddy)***. We also like other animals and want to just be their friends. It's good that you are getting along with GK better now Franny. I mean, after all it's not his fault that he has come to live with you. Someone brought him there. That's the one you should be displeased with if you don't want GK there. I think you see my point. Have a good weekend and don't get too deep in the snow.
Catch you later, Kirby.
Good thing you are educating yourself about Chow Chows and GK's Heritage...it is interesting indeed.
I was showing my friend in Africa the pictures of GK, she had Chows at one time..she said did you know this information about these dogs?
In China they call the breed Songshi Quan, which translates literally to "Puffy-Lion-Dog" In other possible origins for the name besides the Chinese word "chou" meaning "edible" is the Chinese word "Kou" meaning "dog" there has been a controversy claiming the dogs were used for human food consumption...but she didn't know if that was a fact. She mentioned other names for the breed... Hei She-t'ou(black tongued) Lang Kou(wolf dog) Hsiung Kou(bear dog) or Kwantung Kou(dog of Canton).
But then Francesca you might have read that in the book..
have a great week-end everyone!
from delia and a meeuw from Kitty
Hi Sweeties,
Franny, I'm really happy that you are interested and caring enough to want to read up on Chows. You watch, one of these days you and G.K. are going to be the best of friends, just like you and Sharkey were with Paw Paw. Did you know that many of your momma's followers miss Paw Paw too? He pulled at all of our heartstrings just like you and Sharkey do and yes, G.K. does too. Play nice and be glad you don't have to go through all that grooming G.K. has to endure. That's one good thing, eh?
We're glad the newest addition is settling in but hope this blog goes back soon to focusing on the sweet Frenchies! We love to read about their adventures! Maybe when GK is older he can get a page of his own.
Hi Girl Friends, MS. Franny you are becoming smarter and smarter every day. It is so nice to see that you are taking the time to learn more and more about your new brother, GK. He is so precious and is getting more and more like his great-grandfather, Paw Paw. I know you and Sharkey will appreciate him even more as time goes by. I love all three of you and love hearing everything about you all the time. Love Dudley Do Right XOXOXO+
Franniebrindle, I really applaud you for trying to be a better sister to little GK - in wanting to learn more about him to help you understand him more. I can't EVEN imagine how tough it is on BOTH you girls with this busy, boisterous, and rambunctious little furry ball of badness constantly nagging at you as playful puppies do... I and little Mandy's daddy've been talking about getting another little kittiekittie of which ALL of us could benefit, but we (well, I) don't want to seemingly crush our little Mandy girl in openly sharing our love with another little (we're afraid - competitor!) feline friend. Mandy became such a comfort for mommie when little Edgar passed away, that she (I) has (have) to think about the future and 'succession planning'.
I am assured that we'll know when the time is right, but in the meantime, Franniebrindle - Sharkeybarkey, too - just take things a day at a time with little GK. As springtime blossoms and y'all can get outside and play more on God's green earth, I'm SURE you'll become the bestest friends ever! As with most things in our mommies'-n-daddies' and the fluffiewuffies' lives, in general, it just takes time!

text: How to change the DNS servers of a jailbroken iPhone? There are restrictions to accessing some sites(including Youtube and some Google sites) in the country I live. So changing DNS servers is the first thing I do in a fresh OS install. Now I need to change the DNS servers of iPhone for 3G and Wifi. But how?

Purchasing your first home is a big step—and sometimes an intimidating one. Old Second will stand by you every step of the way, providing the personalized assistance and guidance you need to navigate the financing process and make the overall experience a rewarding one.
Sometimes good credit alone won't help you overcome all the obstacles to buying your first home. To help first-time homebuyers meet the requirements of a hefty down payment or being able to cover closing costs, Old Second participates in several affordable housing programs.
When it comes to buying and owning a home, you have enough to think about. You may not want to worry about the future direction of interest rates. If you want to lock in a competitive interest rate for the entire life of the loan, consider Old Second's traditional fixed-rate mortgages.
When your commitment to a home is not a long-term one, or you seek the flexibility of lower initial monthly mortgage payments and future rate adjustments based on the prevailing interest-rate environment, consider an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) from Old Second. An Old Second residential lender can provide details of how ARMs work and help you decide if an ARM may be appropriate for your situation.
